• The Sustainable and Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) excludes food groups such as dried fruits, refined grains, butter, margarine, and cooking oils because they were not part of the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) recommendations or contributed minimally to overall dietary impact.
• The Sustainable Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) is a tool developed to assess healthy and sustainable diets based on the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) recommendations.
• The Sustainable Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) methodology involves converting reported consumption frequencies for 24 food groups into grams to assess compliance with Planetary Health Diet (PHD) recommendations.
• The Sustainable and Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) does not directly measure health or environmental outcomes but estimates them based on food group intake patterns using Planetary Health Diet (PHD) recommendations as proxies.
• Respondents from Copenhagen presented the diet closest to the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) based on Core SHDI scores, while the highest total SHDI scores were observed in Copenhagen and Warsaw.
• The Sustainable and Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) classifies dietary quality across different populations by using the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) as a globally applicable reference diet.
• The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) was chosen as a benchmark for the Sustainable and Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) because it provides a globally applicable reference point, unlike local food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) or traditional diets like the Mediterranean diet, which are not uniformly applicable across all case study territories.
• In the study of five case study territories, Copenhagen and Warsaw exhibited the highest Sustainable Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) scores, indicating better adherence to the Planetary Health Diet.
• The authors of the study 'Sustainable and healthy diet index (SHDI) unveils regional ...' developed a diet quality index based on the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) to assess healthy and sustainable diets.
